Preppy Polish

Remake a stock vanity with a coat of navy paint and gold hardware. When topped with a crisp white counter and oil-rubbed-bronze hardware, this modest small bathroom vanity looks much more expensive. Incorporate additional storage solutions to add function, such as a surface-mount medicine cabinet and shallow shelves.

Dresser-Style Vanities

A dresser-style vanity can be an ideal way to blend modern and vintage elements in your bathroom. Matching furniture-style vanities flank the door in this bath, providing separate grooming areas and an upscale look in the functional space. Cabriole legs give the vanities their furniture look, while soft gray paint complements the room's soothing monochromatic color scheme.

Garden Fresh

A traditional bathroom vanity looks fresh as a daisy with a coat of spring-green paint. Because the vanity has two depths, the drawers and doors accommodate the small space with a handcrafted, vintage sensibility. A marble countertop adds timeless contrast to the graphic wallpaper that blooms above the vanity.

Bathroom Vanity Cabinets

Add a twist to your vanity by extending storage space from floor to ceiling. When the cabinetry reaches past the countertop to the ceiling, the vanity takes on the essence of a freestanding hutch and offers ample storage space for multiple users. This vanity's pilasters and glass-font doors provide the elegance of fine furniture, while a gilded antique mirror framed by an arched valance enhances its vintage charm. Sage green paint brings a hint of color to the retreat.

Embellished Drawers

The drawers on this vanity are detailed to look quilted, adding a textural element to the grand sitting space. A light stain over paint settles into grooves to show off natural detail in the wood. Oil-rubbed-bronze hardware complements the sconces and iron bench legs.

Double-Sink Vanity

A double vanity can be ideal for a couple, providing space for two to use the area simultaneously. The muted blue tones of the cabinetry and walls in this bathroom create a clean and calming look. The elegantly arched surround integrates the dual vanities, while a makeup station between the sinks provides a sense of separation and additional grooming space.

Overhead Compartment

Don't forget about the space above your bathroom mirror. In a small bathroom, this wall space is perfect for storing items you use less often. Finish the entire unit in a single wood tone for a thoughtful and complete vanity design.

Dressed-Up Details

For the look of custom furniture, use a freestanding bathroom vanity with plenty of drawers. Create this design style by retrofitting a found dresser or buying a new bathroom vanity designed to look old. Graphic overlays on the drawer fronts and a coat of bold red color add drama. The marble backsplash gets a special touch with a custom curve.

Simply Chic

Mix a Shaker-inspired bath table with ornate gold-frame mirrors for a vintage-meets-modern look that feels more collected than designed.

Faux Furniture

Vanity with Framed Mirrors

Large mirrors, such as the ones in this bathroom, make a room seem even more spacious. Here, two identical riftsawn walnut vanities are divided by a central makeup table, and a trio of tall framed mirrors above the vanity areas enhances natural light. A chocolate brown marble floor grounds the room and complements the vanity area's dark wood tones.

Painted Pretty

A traditional bathroom vanity with beautifully crafted doors and drawers is lightened with a soft, gray-blue paint color. The design blends into the room with ease, because it relates to the gray veining found in the marble on the counter, floor, and shower.

Bathroom Vanity with Mixed Textures

Mix textures in your vanity area to create a sophisticated place to get ready in the morning. In this soothing bathroom, a vanity constructed of English bur oak introduces natural texture amid the bath's smooth marble surfaces. A band of iridescent glass tile wraps the room and brings a hint of shimmer to the practical space. To finish the room, soft gold walls repeat a hue found in the marble's veining.

Oversize Mirrors

This unique vanity is modeled after a Parsons table and features an 8-foot-long slab of concrete that protects the maple-veneer cabinetry below from water splashes. Two glass vessel sinks lighten the look and repeat the soft, watery tones of the glass tiles that adorn the walls. Above the vanity, a large mirror framed in decorative tiles visually expands the room and enhances the bathroom's geometric feel.

Antique Bathroom Vanity

Enhance the antique feel of your bathroom with a vintage-style vanity. In this master bath, a Chinese butcher table was repurposed as a textural vanity. A vessel sink adds a sculptural touch and retains the authenticity of the table. Eclectic artwork and a round mirror bring a contemporary vibe to the room.

Contemporary Bathroom Vanity

For a clean and contemporary look, opt for natural textures and simple forms in the bathroom. Traditional English walnut on the vanity is accessorized by modern stainless-steel drawer pulls to create an intriguing mix of old and new. Undermount sinks disappear into the vanity's smooth basalt top, and its all-drawer construction emphasizes the walnut's horizontal grain.
